There are all types of movies out there from horror, drama, thrillers, to love stories. Where do you watch movies?

Do you Watch movies on the internet? Do you like to go out to watch movies or stay at home? Me personally, I like to watch movies from everywhere and I will share some of the things I do to watch movies and some of my favorite sites to watch movies from.

I love to watch movies on my big flat screen tv at home, and one of the ways I like to watch movies is on my Blu-ray player, or whatever might be on cable at the time. Another way I like to enjoy movies on my tv is to stream though a Netflix ready device. Another way I enjoy movies is to connect my laptop to my big screen with a HDMI cable, then I can stream movies from a bunch of different sites on the internet such as Hulu or other free streaming services out there. There is one site I enjoy a site called Clicker.com where you can search for shows and see if they are available on the internet, and whether or not they are free to watch. There are also a bunch of sites out there that you pay a fee to watch movies like Vudu, Comcast, Hulu plus, and Amazon just to name a few. These sites offer movies that range typically from $1.99 to $5.99, which can be a huge savings from taking your family out to the movies. These sites also have newer releases than Netflix and

sites like that. Some cable providers also have this service.

Sometimes though, you really want to see a movie in a theater, maybe even a 3-D production. (which I sometimes enjoy) One of the drawbacks to seeing a movie in the theater is the large cost, sometimes it can be as much as $15 per person just to see the movie. What I try to do is to pick movies that I really want to go see in the theater and just bite the bullet. After all some movies are just meant to seen that way.

So enjoy watching movies, with more ways than ever.

https://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/fixing-computers/#commentsTue, 17 Apr 2012 21:40:01 +0000http://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/?p=117]]>I have always been fascinated with fixing things my whole life and computers are not an exception. I grew up with computers starting with the Vic 20, if any of you can remember that far back. (HAHA) The Vic 20 was a little before the Commodore 64 and was very basic. I just love to take things apart and see how they work. I remember working on lawn mowers, to see if I could get them to run and other things like that growing up.

I have always liked working with computers and now I am going to school to learn how to fix them! I have always liked to get my hands dirty and get right into a problem and try to solve it.

Computers are wonderful machines, except when they no longer work. I have done every kind of upgrade to my computer you can think of from video board, sound card, and motherboard replacement. Most computers can be fixed by replacing the defective parts. There a few things you can do to prolong the life of your computer, like blowing out the dust from your tower every six months. Make sure when you do this you unplug your computer to prevent any shocks. Another thing you can do is to back up all of your files onto an external hard drive, so when your computer becomes infected with a virus and won’t boot, or your hard drive fails you can easily get your system up and running again. Also don’t forget to run virus scans to check for problems.

There are a bunch of free cleaning software applications out there, these could help also, but be very careful when you run these because they can make changes to your registry and that could lead to a whole mess of problems. A site that I like to use for free anti-virus and other programs is CNET download.com. http://www.cnet.com/?tag=hdr

Are there any sites or programs that you like to keep your computer up and running?

https://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/audio-books/#commentsThu, 12 Apr 2012 00:08:46 +0000http://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/?p=85]]>I grew up reading a bunch of books and I have always enjoyed reading. Now I listen to audio books more that I read and I enjoy them just as much if not more than actually reading the book. To listen to an audio book you need some sort of player like an iPod or MP3 player. I started listening to Stephen King books, because he is one of my favorite authors. The first book I listened to was called The Mist and was actually a dramatization with sound effects and was really cool.

I have enjoyed listening to many books since then and still do. I personally use an iPod to listen on and download from Audible.com which I am a member. The cost of a membership is $14.95 a month and you acquire credits to use to purchase the books. Some books cost more than one credit, but most are just one. There are thousands of books to choose from, and all different categories from fantasy, science fiction, biography and so on. I am sure if you look at the Audible web site you would find something to your taste. If you were to purchase these books at regular prices you could pay up to $60 per book! Other places to download books would be from the iTunes store, but I found them pricey.

I mostly listen to books when I am doing chores around the house, like cutting the grass or working in the yard. If you were to listen to a book where would you listen? Who are some of your favorite authors?

https://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/fishing-opening-day/#respondFri, 06 Apr 2012 02:17:54 +0000http://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/?p=59]]>Opening Day Fishing, which happens on the first Saturday in May has always been a tradition. I remember getting up at 5:00 A.M. to get to the park on time. I would go with my cousins and we would have a great time. I started to go fishing when I was just ten years old.

The day before opening day would seem like the longest day ever. We would race to the park, so we could get our favorite spot. The park was stocked every year with rainbow trout, so we would always get our limit. I remember one year I was interviewed by channel 12 and got on television.

So if you see the boat that is in the picture above give a shout, I just might be on it. The above picture is of my friends boat called Bassakwards.(HaHa cool name right)

Nowadays the lakes seem to be too crowded and I usually wait a couple of weeks after opening day to go. I try to go fishing as much as I can, which seems to be too infrequent. I love to be on the lake and just enjoying the outdoors. Can you think of a favorite fishing spot, or a time that is memorable to you?

https://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/2012/02/22/rpgs/#commentsWed, 22 Feb 2012 19:29:10 +0000http://mikebzzz.wordpress.com/?p=1]]>I have played RPG’s (Role Playing Games) for as long as I can remember. The first one was the original Dungeons and Dragons, where you just played with books, dice, notes, and your mind. Next I played a game on the Apple 2e computer called ,Wizardrywhich was where you followed a maze and ran into things to find or fight. Now enter Skyrima RPG that is pushing the limits of new computers and graphics cards, with beautiful scenery and a huge world to explore.

There are a ton of different kinds of role playing games out there as well. One that I have played was called Fallout which you were in a future world and got to use guns instead of swords and magic which is typical in most RPG’s.
